My father who is a great lover of Urdu poetry ......was so moved by the performance today. He had tears in his eyes several times during the evening and described your diction as " Faultless". May you grow from strength to strength.....and remain empty inside.

Wah Ankit ji waah

[@romeshchopra02]

Ankit, I was born in Quetta, brought up speaking the colonist's tongue which I used as my own, but now at 72 I feel the void being filled by your language, your eloquence, by the stories your tell, by the legends you evoke, by the seed you sow with such dedication, by your grace. Jiyo, jiyo! Romi Chopra

I want to see this whole program! Are you touring the UK anytime soon... if not, can I purchase a disc/digital copy and if not that, will you be uploading the full show ?

[@drumsanddance]

The history of 'rang'... Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahib used to take the names of many fakirs/pirs in his rendition... could you shed some light on the significance/importance of this?

[@husainsaifee1]

Ankit bhai is no longer with us. Not sure if his team still does the show or not.

[@monamishra756]

And the names of the performers please? Thanks:)

[@ankitchadha9347]
